Nottingham Report written by Nottingham runner
A whole bunch of GoodGymers (including Tracy on her first task!) headed back to Sneinton to help our friend Kathryn with another big job.
This time, we sanded down some of the railings at Lees Hill Park and painted them a very bright and shiny blue.
As the paint was oil-based, we set our smallest GGers to litter picking and sweeping up all the old leaves that had gathered around, in between bursts on the playground, of course.
As always, Kathryn provided some delicious, very well-earned sweet treats and some hot drinks!

Robert Hunt earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Robert completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Robert was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Robert Hunt has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Robert is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Nottingham Report written by Rachel Levick
For our first task of 2024, 11 GoodGymers made their way back to Sneinton Primary School Community Allotment on a chilly but sunny morning in Nottingham. The ever-cheerful Kathryn met us and set us to work on various tasks around the allotment.
Natalie, Rebecca F, Rebecca N and Oliver took on the overgrowth and brambles at the back of the garden, unearthing quite a few balls which had found their way in from the neighbouring school (much fun was had throwing these back!). Meanwhile Nigel and Rachel W did a sterling job digging for soil and filling one of the empty beds. Mark helped Kathryn reposition some of the wooden posts in the decking area before also tackling the brambles, and Serafina and Rachel L worked on weeding the beds and vegetable patches. Last, but by no means least, Leah and Rob took on litter picking in the hedges on the path outside the allotment, aided by our miniest GoodGym members, Carys and Milo who did a great job on their first task.
After a very productive hour, we downed tools and had some of Kathryn’s homemade treats – the Christmas pudding brownie was a revelation!
We were delighted to see Natalie, Rebecca, Oliver and Robert at their first GoodGym task. We also welcomed Mark and Rebecca who were visiting us from London where they are involved in GoodGym. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
